Caption:

The famed Mexican filmmaker, who recently released his movie adaptation of Mary Shelley's Gothic novel Frankenstein will be awarded the BFI Fellowship at the annual BFI Chair's dinner in London in May 2026. The award recognises del Toro's extraordinary contribution to film and the distinctive artistry that runs through his work across animation and live action, in both Spanish and English. ”This is the honour of a lifetime and a thrilling moment in a storyteller's life: to join a rarefied pantheon and to be recognised by the BFI," the director said in a statement.
